This scrapbook was compiled by a Charleston, Massachusetts, resident. It contains Union songsheets, mourning cards, patriotic covers, and cartoons. Much of the information relates to Colonel Ephram E. Ellsworth whose death in May, 1861, caused a great up-swell in patriotic sentiment in the North. These resources and materials are not in the public domain and copyright is largely held by the Digital Library and Archives, University Libraries, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
